Transhumanism: the Future of Humanity, or a Modernist, Gnostic Heresy?

Transhumanism aims to build a future world for mankind that does away with the very qualities which make us human. This cult-like ideology has captivated political and economic elites across the globe, and influences leaders in tech on their quest to create ‘post-human’ forms of artificial intelligence. But like other true believers, transhumanists have many fundamental assumptions about the world and human nature that have critical flaws - both philosophically, and scientifically. 

In this discussion event, Oxford Professor Jan Bentz and doctoral candidate Wael Taji Miller join distinguished fellow Rod Dreher for a confrontation against the flawed assumptions of transhumanist ideology, revealing the true nature of a belief system that is rooted in modernist philosophy and Gnostic heretical ideas about mankind and our place in the universe.

Featured panelists:

• Dr. Jan Bentz, Lector, Blackfriars College, Oxford University
• Wael Taji Miller, Doctoral Candidate, Semmelweis University

Moderator: 

• Rod Dreher, Visiting Fellow, Director of Network Project, Danube Institute
